4. For caramel, bring brown sugar, butter and cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Pour half of the caramel into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; layer with half the pecans and half the dough balls; repeat. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

"It is not a sweet bread, and it seems to be dry. It was better when it was sliced and toasted with butter. Made three in a row , it was ok but I wanted a sweet bread."

"I thought this recipe turned out terrible. I followed it step by step, but when I baked it it took forever to get done. 350 degrees was too low of a temperature to bake it, I had to adjust it to 400 degrees and put it in for another 30 min or so. Will not make again"

"We made these for a church breakfast and everyone loved them! The best monkey bread I've ever tasted? Definitely a keeper!"

"For years, I made a monkey bread that was passed down from my mother - and it used butterscotch pudding instead of the caramel sause. I love my recipe - but this one was incredible and is definetly one that I will make again.

I did try something a little different this time - instead of using a bundt pan, I made individual monkey bread by following this reciepe - but then each ball I would seperate into two and used a muffin pan. Afterwards, I was able to individually wrap each muffin-sized bread. I have some more experimenting to do at that - but it turned out great - and for those who are cautious about who touches the bread - this is a great way to go."

"this was wonderful! I made it twice, and the second time only used about half a stick of butter to roll the dough in, the first time I ended up throwing away a lot of unused, melted butter. I also made more cinnamon-sugar mixture for it the second time. Next time I make it I will double the caramel. but this is amazing, a hit with everyone who tried it!"

I put everything together, *Rolled in butter, then cinamon sugar, pour carmel ect.... covered them with saran wrap let them sit for 4 hours. then cooked... WAS HEAVEN!!!

"I echo everyones thoughts on this recipe as it was so sweet and delicious! I will definatly be making this again! I did use about 2 cups sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and sugar instead of what the recipe calls for though. I think it was good that I had to make a fresh batch of cinnamon and sugar because the first batch was getting sticky from the butter. I will say that you definately need something larger than a bundt cake pan to hold everything. I will also be using a large platter to put this on rather than a plate as the caramel just oozed out once I inverted the pan and got everywhere. Other than that, GREAT GREAT recipe!"

"I forgot to put on first review. I had to make another batch of the cinnamon and sugar as I did not have enough. I also made the dough in the bread machine using 4 1/4 cups flour in my 2 lb capacity bread machine. My dough was well above the rim of a bundt pan so next time I will reserve about 6 rolls for dinner rolls, but you can still roll them in the sugar and cook them alongside the bundt pan, they were still really good as they fell off onto a sheet of foil I placed under the pan "just in case." The suggestion of more carmel syrup is also a good idea - will try that next time."

"This is very, very good fresh and warm from the oven. Will definitely make again. A couple cautions though: 1) Do not use a tube pan with a removable bottom; the caramel topping will leak out, spoken from experience. 2) The cinnamon-sugar for the assembly wasn't nearly enough. I used over 50% more than the recipe calls for, and it's a pain to mix more when your hands are covered in butter and sugar."

Then I melt 1 stick of butter with 1 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon and pour over the biscuit pieces, and bake. So much simplier, but just as delicious."
